Signs of the times
Dallas Post/Ed Campbell
The Parenting Council of North-
eastern Pennsylvania phased out of
service at the end of December,
1983, due to funding difficulties. The
Council’s Resource Room, however,
will be maintained by Maternal &
Family Health Services at 936
Market St., Kingston.
To continue to provide the com-
munity with information on parent-
ing, the Parenting Council has pur-
chased materials to be placed in 66
libraries and four district libraries.
Pamphlet on pregnancy, children,
health, adolescence and parenting
will be placed in libraries in Lacka-
wanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Schuylk-
ill, Pike, Wayne and Wyoming coun-
ties.
District libraries will also receive
numerous books and comprehensive
resource packets on abuse, adoles-
cence, children, early adolescence,
infants, infant apnea and sudden
infant death syndrome, safety, sex
education, stepfamilies and teenage
pregnancy.
The Parenting Council was origi-
nally formed as a non-profit organi-
zation to strengthen and support all
aspects of family life. Through a
sub-contracted grant through
Maternal & Family Health Services,
Inc. from the U.S. Office of Adoles-
cent Pregnancy Programs, the
Council developed a Resource Room
on parenting and family life and
Tel-Med tapes in Luzerne County on
parenting, adolescence and chil-
dren.
The Council has sponsored work-
shops for foster parents, group
home youth and staff and sessions
on communication, stepfamilies and
safety.
The stepfamily workshops led the
participants to form the Wyoming
Valley Chapter of the Stepfamily
Association of America, Inc. The
Council also developed a planning
committee to form a support group
for families with infants on apnea
monitors. That group will begin
meeting in March, 1984 and is spon-
sored by the Wyoming Valley Chap-
ter of the American Lung Associa-
tion. Both groups may be contacted
through FIRST or HELPLINE.

In November, a Thanksgiving Sweepstakes was
held to raise money to sponsor a children’s shopping
spree. As a result, 20 needy children participated in a
shopping expedition with members of the organiza-
tion helping the youngsters purchase Christmas gifts
for their families.
Jeff Townsend, Individual Development Vice
President, is chairman for the Blood Council and
fellow Jaycees assist him by making phone calls and
advertising for the blood drives in this area.
In the near future, the Jaycees will be helping
the Cub Scouts organize a boat derby as another of
their community service projects.

men ages 18-35, was formed in 1975 and is currently
in its ninth year. The group has a membership of 43

next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 8
